Tyres and axle grease HELP!

[Jim-Adv]

Can anyone recommend tyres for my F650, I got a puncture yesterday and cant find Michelin Sirac's anywhere. Also do you know any good motorcycle tyre outlets in Bucks or West London.

When I took the rear wheel off lats night I had a nightmare getting the axle out, has anyone else experienced this and do you know if the axle is supposed to be greased.

Cheers

Jim

dunno about f650 tyres, but axles should be lightly greased with anti seize grease.

so should engine mount bolts. specially on airhead twins. and guzzis.

Jim...

Try Feltham Tyre Centre.... 0208 751 3447 (The Causeway, nr Heathrow)

Ask for Dave (yes, really) he is the bike tyre specialist there...

They are very helpful... and biker friendly..

I rode in on Saturday, had both tyres changed and rode out in just over half an hour...
